the real question is, is why isn't john boehner reaching out to harry reid, sitting down with nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell and hammering out a compromise? >> reporter: but house gop leadership aides wasted no time on hitting the white house for waiting for the last minute. one asking why the president scheduled a meeting friday, "when the sequester hits at midnight on thursday? either someone needs to buy the white house a calendar or this is just a belated farce. they ought to at least pretend to try." that led to some confusion and a bizarre back and forth, not about how to stop the cuts, but about when the cuts take effect. >> the sequester believes, i believe, midnight on the first of march. well, actually, it happens before, because it happens moon midnight. >> what do you mean -- >> no, it begins midnight march 1st. >> reporter: that prompted this tweet from the speaker's spokesman.

there was a quirk when they passed the law nancy pelosi said you have to pass the law to find out what was in it, what wasn't in it is a funding mechanism for federal exchanges. many of the states are skipping state exchanges paid for by an employer mandate to either fund health care insurance for employees 50 or more or to pay a fine in effect into a state exchange. the language for funding state exchanges isn't there for the federal exchanges. something like 15 to 20 states now are opting for the federal exchange so there's no funding mechanism. so the house has to revisit this. taxing legislation has to come through the house of representatives. so there's john boehner's mandate. >> now, donna, there's another quote from that article in the cincinnati inquirer i want to show and ask you about. he said in it there are essentially three major routes to repeal the president's law, the court of congressional process, with those routes coming up short, the third and final one becomes more important than ever. do you think that's the message of the last election to try to essentially repe
